Immersive Chests
Immersive Chests is a client-side Minecraft mod that dynamically repositions the camera when interacting with containers and workstations, creating a more grounded and immersive gameplay experience.
Instead of opening GUIs from a static viewpoint, the camera moves relative to the block you are interacting with — supporting directional views, contextual positioning, and immersive workstation interaction.
Features
- Immersive camera positioning for containers and workstations
- Context-aware orientation and camera alignment
- Support for top-down, side-facing, and directional views
- Stable orientation-relative offset system
- Configurable camera distance, height, tilt, and behaviour
- Support for many vanilla and modded container blocks
- Client-side only

- Chests (single and double)
- Barrels
